Desi Lydic & Jordan Klepper cover the latest in the news including Binance's CEO pleading guilty, Biden's cord-cutting proposal, and gender equality for crash test dummies. And Is defending Christmas enough to get you on the nice list? Desi and Jordan head to FOX News All American Christmas tree lighting to investigate the war on Christmas. Plus, Univision had an opportunity to confront Trump on his hardline anti-Latino policies, and instead gave him a glowing review with softball questions. So why is the channel trusted by Latinos pandering to Trump ahead of the 2024 election? John Leguizamo bares it all in a new segment, "In My Opinion." And North Carolina Rep. Jeff Jackson talks to Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper about combating outrage politics with explainer videos on TikTok and other social media platforms, how some members in Congress treat their jobs as “daily tryouts for the outrageous Olympics,” and why he wants to fight political corruption and gerrymandering as Attorney General of North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the
only city in America. It's the show that infected News.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's The Daily Show with your host Nnessee Lighting and
Jordany Clapper.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome to The Hailey Show.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm Jesse Lightning and I'm Jordan Clapper, world co hosting tonight. Yeah,
and of course it is the night before Thanksgiving, so
that could only mean one thing.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Neither of us wanted to see our family go.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We got a great show. So let's get into headlines.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Let's kick things.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Off with some news about cryptocurrent and see historically it's
the best investment if you're looking to have your money
stolen by a guy whose mattress is one hundred percent
for sure on the floor. But now there's one less
place for Americans to trade it.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
This morning, another major blow to the cryptocurrency industry as
the leader of the world's largest crypto exchange pleads guilty
to multiple US violations, including money laundering.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
The FEDS accused Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Joo, of
processing more than one hundred thousand transactions by child abusers,
cyber criminals, and even terrorists.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Joo has agreed to pay.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
More than four billion dollars in fines and step down
as CEO, and Binance will no longer do business within
the US.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
WHA, No, you're telling me that crypto guy was shady.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
The crypto guy was shady, so weird.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He was so nice when he sold me the weapons
on the black market.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, of shot, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But you know, there is that one thing that you
always say, Oh, that's.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Right, the one thing.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
What is it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, everyone in crypto is shady. Have you ever talked
to someone who's into crypto and thought to yourself, Wow,
what an upstanding human citizen. I definitely would prefer talking
to them rather than shooting myself in the face. But yes,
Binance is going to have to shut down in the US,
(02:27):
which could jeopardize any American who has money there. To
be fair, if you're a non criminal who's lost money
in this, that's on you, because at this point, investing
in crypto is like playing r Kelly at your wedding.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You should know.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's not a good choice.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I gotta say I saw this coming from a mile away.
I knew this company sounded fishy from the moment I
heard its name.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The name binance alone. It it sounds like a four
year old trying to say finance.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, it sounds like a woke economics course, Oberlin.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I haven't really picked a currency. I'm more financial.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Basically a guy with a fake mustache trying to get
away with something. Are you guys doing finance?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
No, we do binance with money?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah? No, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm gonna leave my money in the real banks where
nothing bad ever happens. Moving on to President, Biden pulls
show that he's not doing well with young people, who
apparently find him suss mid and deficient in rids, all
words I a young person know quite well. But Biden
(03:38):
has a new policy to win them back.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Biden administration wants to eliminate so called cord cutting fees.
It would be done through a new proposed rule from
the FCC, which would require cable and satellite TV operators
to get rid of those early termination fees for subscribers.
The agency says those fees really limit a customer's ability
to choose the service they want.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, okay, so so Biden wants to make it easier
for people to cancel cable.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
This is a bad idea, and I am not just
saying that because we're on cable.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
You're saying it because cable is the lifeblood of the
American experience. Cable is about family, tradition.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The Bible, the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Have a four to one ks for the on air hosts.
You know, we get that, right, Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We do nice.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
These fees are essential. I mean you can't just get
rid of no.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Maybe you know, maybe we even double them.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, or canceling cable should just be illegal. Maybe the
death penalty is that too much?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's not too much. Definitely not too much.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't even think we should be talking about this
right now.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't think we should talk about it today.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
That let's move on, Okay, let's move on to some
public safety news. Recent studies show that women are more
likely to be hurt in car crashes, and Jordan the
is obvious.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Women are bad drivers. What you said, it's what you said.
It's sexism.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Sexism, Yeah, sexism. And now the auto industry is finally
starting to do something about it.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
When it comes to designing crash test dummies, researchers say
it's time to get smarter.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
This is the average female.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Engineers in Sweden have developed a dummy based on a
woman's body.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
More narrower shoulder area and a wider hip area.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
It's also lighter and has a lower center of gravity,
all things experts say are important to consider when testing
collisions at high speeds.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Wow, what a surprise. The cars are designed to be
safe for crash test dummies, and the dummies are designed
to represent men's bodies. Although to be fair, it's not
just the dummies. The study also revealed that right before
a crash, men tends up, while women usually whisper. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry sorry. I will say I'm glad they're finally making
(06:09):
changes to the dummies. But if we were worried about accuracy,
let's go all the way with this. Why not fill
the car with half eaten takeout containers and a hockey
stick that was left in the back seat for the
last three months, no matter how many times you told
them to bring it in the fucking house. Let's see
what happens when that hits the wall at sixty miles
an hour. Sorry, Jordan, it's been a tough week.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, no worries. Thanks again for driving me to hockey practice.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah no product.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So thanks to the scientists and congrats on designing a
mannequin that men won't dream about having sex with.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right, right, right, totally, totally, totally definitely, so spot on
spot on, spot off spot.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Can we move on? Please?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
The Holidays are coming up and that means the start
of a decade old tradition.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's it. I went on location to watch it happen.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
America has had its share of intractable wars, but Fox
News has been tracking one forever war.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
In particular, it's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The War on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The War on Christmas to the War on.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Christmas, and there's no end each side.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
Now it feels like the War on Christmas is coming
earlier and earlier every year.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So we came to the Fox News All American Christmas
Tree Lighting Show to talk to people about how they're
surviving the War on Christmas.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
I don't feel like there's a war on Christmas, and
I think if there was a war on Christmas, Christmas
move one.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Are you familiar with the war on Christmas? I've heard
of it, but I don't really think it's actually a thing.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So are you serious? People can't say Merry Christmas anymore?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
If I say Merry Christmas and my neighbor ten times
in a row.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
It looks at me like I'm crazy. Do you think
that this tree.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Lighting ceremony is so much smaller this year because Fox
lost so much money in the dominion lawsuit?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
That's very possible, but I haven't really heard a lot
of fun into that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are you at all worried?
Speaker 11 (07:58):
That's on me?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No tree lighting sae everybody next year when smart metic
comes in and takes the rest of the cat. Not really, no,
No the hell people even know it's Christmas. Outside of
those Christmas decorations and those Christmas.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And those.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There's a Sanna.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Finally, we spoke to some civilians who truly have experienced the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Noug of war. Fox has talked a lot about how there.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Is a war on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think there is.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
If I were to say happy Holidays, how would that
make you feel?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I might correct you.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Some people talk about saying happy Holidays. Pot is really
proud about saying Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They say there's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
There is.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
There's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
I believe we look around you, look at all the businesses,
look at the corporations that have you know, not allowed
you to say that.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I think that people are scared to speak up about
their Christianity, about their faith.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sure, there is a war on Christmas, and the group
facing the most vitriol, for sure are Christians.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think Christians specifically, guess right now, right.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Now, but it is defending Christmas enough to put them
on saying as nice list? Or does Saint Nick reconsider
when Fox News hosts say things.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Like this, I want to say something about Arab Americans.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We've had it with them.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, so not your nice Someone at Box News said
we've had it with them, referencing Eric's in general, not
just nice. So Jessie Waters will be in a nice
nice category, maybe.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Because I'm a New Yorker and I'm pretty you know,
use this stuff, used.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
To stuff, and now I've been mom, keep your mind. Yeah,
and so that's like led to an.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Irrational hour that you already project down to an entire
group of people.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, we got the five right here. Judge, not your nice, nice,
nice good judge. He sees the world. Ye call it
that she sees that exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
That lady knows a way around exactly a bar a bar,
not your nice Fox News nice, nice, nice nice. Yes,
what about when they lied to the American people about
the election results? That's naughty.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's no, that is naughty.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We can acknowledge that's naughty.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What overall Fox News nice nice makes mistakes. We all
make mistakes.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Who hasn't threatened the entire nation's trust in democracy?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
We'll start one moment for ninety one.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
We finally arrived at the moment to declare mission accomplished.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All the War of Christmas three two one.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Until next year.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
When we come back, We're gonna report from John as
a double away.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We've opened up our guests here the shows. Who are
our guests? We've discovered that not all people are terrible,
So now we're inviting some of our new not terrible
friends back in a new segment we call in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Hey, what's help us up? Everybody?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
I'm John Leguizamo, and Yo, it's great to be back
at the Daily Show.
Speaker 11 (11:36):
For two reasons. One, you guys got the best snacks.
Speaker 12 (11:41):
Oh yeah, I mean I could buy my own snacks,
but they taste way better when they're free, except for
that dried seaweed that always tastes like a flounders butthole.
But more importantly, I came back because something is.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Pissing me off.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Univisa, you own face and growing backlash after giving Donald
Trump the royal treatment. Last week, the network hosted a
very friendly, our long exclusive interview with Trump that his
son in law, Jared Kushner, helped arrange.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
I'd mother meal.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
I don't know what's more shocking that Univision gave Trump
a softball interview or that Trump led a Latin guy
into his house. How did that happen? What do he
think he was there to mow the lawn? But yeah,
journalist Enrique A. Sevedo interviewed Donald Trump for Univision Now.
For decades, Univision has been the channel that Latinos have
(12:37):
trusted for news, whether it's news about the.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
World or news about a sexy lady minor will he
took off against the most powerful woman in town for
a more.
Speaker 12 (12:50):
And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Univision
interviewing Trump. In fact, I thought it would be dope
opportunity to confront him on his hardline anti Latino policy.
But instead of an interview worthy of Univision, we saw
this ca Camerda, The.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
New York Times Enapole came out this week. It has
you with forty two percent.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Of Latino voters support.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
That's unprecedented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What do you think the message voters are sending with
his numbers? It's a forty two percent, Like I was saying,
I unpresidented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
What do you think voters are responding to your message?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Do you think the voter is now more secure because.
Speaker 12 (13:28):
Of that relationship and the partnership you've been able to
build with Mexico.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
More and more Latinos are identifying themselves as conservatives.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Wait?
Speaker 12 (13:38):
Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but those are your questions
to the guy who might be the next president, mister Trunk,
Why why are you so beloved by the Latino community?
I mean, I was expecting this guy's follow up question
to be is it true that to look upon your
penis it would be like, I don't know, gazing into
(14:02):
the very face of God.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, no charity, how big? Easy?
Speaker 11 (14:07):
Tell them, tell you to start, tell me to start
and yo.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
Just to be clear, we Latinos are not a monolith.
There are some of us that do support Trump and
my family. We refer to him as the crazy uncle
who doesn't get invited to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that's just my house.
Speaker 12 (14:25):
But as a news organization for the Latino community, Univision
has a responsibility to fully report what a second Trump
presidency could mean for them, and the truth.
Speaker 11 (14:36):
Is that that shit is mad scary.
Speaker 13 (14:39):
We have learned so much more about Trump's proposal for
a twenty twenty five agenda, particularly when it comes to immigration.
It's plan would essentially call for building detention camps for
migrants who are rounded up around the country to be
held at until they are deported. This is an extreme
escalator from what we saw in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Among his promises mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and denine
entry to legal immigrants based on their ideological beliefs.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
We will begin the largest domestic deportation operation.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
In American history.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
And nobody has any idea where these people are coming from.
And we know they come from prisons, We know they
come from mental.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Institutions, insane asylums.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
We know they are terrorists.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
It's poisoning the.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Blood of our country.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Wait wait, wait, what Latino immigrants are poisoning the blood
of our country, mother, What are you talking about?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Your blood is ninety nine percent big Mac.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Also also, wait, did he really say immigrants are coming
from insane asylums? That's not what getting granted asylum means, moron.
And by the way, birthright citizenship is in the Constitution,
just so you know. And I know most Republicans stop
reading after the Second Amendment, but stick around because that
(16:01):
fourteenth m That shit gets good. So the question is
why would Univision avoid asking Trump about the radical twenty
twenty five agenda? And more disturbingly, why did the network
cancel ads from the Biden campaign that was set to.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
Run during the interview?
Speaker 12 (16:26):
Oh yeah, and why did it cancel a separate interview
it had planned with Biden's Hispanic media director. I mean,
canceling opposing views is bad enough, but canceling ad revenue
that's down.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's down right on American.
Speaker 12 (16:46):
And I don't know all the answers, but maybe it
has something to do with Univision's new co CEO, bernardog Mez,
being close friends with Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law
and the only man with the skin of a flower tortilla. Look,
I don't know I'm just asking the tough questions, unlike
(17:07):
Univision's interviewer. The point is, though Univision has got to
come back to its core values. I'm not saying that
they shouldn't have Trump on the air. I'm just saying,
if you do decide to sit down with a lying
insurrectionist who wants to bring back interment camps like it's
freaking nineteen forty two, you might want to point it
out in the interview, okay, because there needs.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
To be honest journalism and parody.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
The Latino community needs you to step up because the
stakes for us in twenty twenty four too damn high.
You need to expose the truth, and not just about Trump,
but also about how they are not those evil madre
It's sabotaging is forbidden. Love of Emilias, swallow a more.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I love you. I'm sure the whole time, John Reford,
you're the right At Recovers with Jeff Glasses, it will
go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Our guest Tonight is a former prosecutor and veterans serving
his first term in Congress. He represents North Carolina's fourteenth
Congressional district, and he's running for Attorney General in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Please welcome Democratic Representative Jeff Jackson. Come crowd, Congress and Jackson,
(19:08):
thank you for being here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Thank you so excited to have you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You are an incredibly successful politician, but most people know
you from your TikTok videos. You do these incredible explainers
that distill down pretty complex issues in a really clear,
digestible way. Is the intent to simplify these issues for
(19:34):
people and get that engagement? Are you really just posting
foot picks?
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Every consultant in DC told me to go the foot direction. Yes,
I said, that's not what I'm about.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, you're a hands guy.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
We know you are.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I love a good hand TikTok Oh, show me that
that Vogue era. Give me this, Lauren Bolbert.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I had a great hands video a few months ago. Great, great,
is that what you're talking about.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
I'm a kitchen table guy, right, I have a kitchen table.
I put a camera on the other side, I look
into it. I say, here's the most interesting thing that
happened to me in Congress this week? And then I
posted to a bunch of different social media platforms. I
have been really surprised by the level of interest in
this political environment where everyone is yelling at each other
all the time, to be able to speak in a
(20:29):
normal tone of voice and try to convey some of
the complexity and some of the nuance that there would
be broad interest for that, I think is really encouraging.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I think it's a good signing.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I now I feel though the platforms that we have
our conversations on dictate the types of conversations we have,
and TikTok is a short attention span platform, Like, what
does it say about our democracy that this is where
the conversations are happening.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
I've been surprised. I wouldn't have expected that. So I
post to TikTok, but also Facebook, read at Twitter. The
place where most people view is TikTok. When I'm home
in my district, constituents come up and they say, hey,
I appreciate what you posted on TikTok. I would not
have predicted that. I will tell you I've got seven
hundred and sixty thousand some odd constituents my senses, about
(21:17):
three hundred thousand of them are on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
No.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I know TikTok's got all kinds of issues, but I
think that reaching my constituents where they are is also
something of real value. It should be normal and expected
that your elected officials try and use social media to
keep you posted about what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It should be part of our job.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
You think you think half of your constituents are on TikTok?
How many high schools do you have in your district?
Speaker 9 (21:47):
You know, I've got a lot of young people, But look,
there are people of all ages on all of these
social media platforms. And every once in a while you
meet a grandma who comes up and says, I really
love you on TikTok. Usually they mentioned Facebook, but sometimes TikTok.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
So you were talking about some of the issues with TikTok.
Nikki Haley has just openly spoken about banning TikTok and
the security concerns. Do you have those concerns?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, those concerns are all legit.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Look, I have a phone that has one app on it,
and that app is TikTok, and that's how I handle that.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And that's because you fear what could happen.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I mean, because the overall threat is that essentially the
Chinese government has access to your information and can influence
the discourse because of it.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Those are all absolutely credible concerns. As long as roughly
half of my constituents are there, I'm gonna try and
use it for good and keep them posted about what
I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I want to talk about some of the people you
work with. You you called out on your famous TikTok
videos that a lot of the people in Congress you sense,
are faking this outrage that what we're seeing at home
is essentially a bunch of people faking it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Who would you put on blasts? Who are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And does it rhyme with Schmrjorie Schmaaler Schmid.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All I will say is this, It's not George Santos.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Never, He's not vacant.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's never a false word from that gentleman. I'll tell
you this.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
I've been in committees and I have watched when the
camera turns on, people's personalities change completely right before your eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's really jarring. It is literal theater.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
And you've got a handful of people there who are
in competition with each other every day to be the
most outrageous, which is why it feels like when you
look at Congress, they're on this escalator that's just increasingly.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Crazy and angry.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
It's because they're playing a very specific game to try
and get the attention of a very specific group of people,
and it's awful and exhausting. Most of people up there
aren't playing that game. The people we keep getting served up,
they're playing the Outrage Olympics every day. That's how they
treat their job in Congress as the day we tryouts
for the Outrage Olympics.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I find it interesting because you have found the success.
You don't seem like the outrage kind of God.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
You always seem like you're at like an even five.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's you got, Like you got like a nice dad, energy,
good dad.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Like I'm not going to drink with you, but I
will pick you up if you drink too much.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I will no questions, ask, give me a call, Right,
I'm that guy. Yeah, yeah, why do you think?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Let me say something else? I think right now, that's
the dad American needs.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I could also say, kind of a tipsy uncle who
can whip this country back into shape to it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
All, we're dangerously close.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, it's just like uncle is going to turn on us.
We better shape up.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What does boil your blood? Does anything get you going?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Outright?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Political corruption For example, my state, North Carolina a horrible
history with jerrymandering. Jerry Mandering is just letting politicians draw
their own districts, because when you do that, they're all
going to cheat my party. When my party had the
ability to draw the districts in North Carolina, they always cheated.
When I was in the state legislature, the first bill
(25:16):
I ever filed was to end jerry mandering, and they
sent it to a committee that hasn't met in twenty years.
We can't let politicians draw their own districts because they
screw the voters every single time. No more jerry mandering
across the entire country.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, a huge.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Issue, But how do we fix this cancer on political discourse?
How do you solve that?
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Don't vote for anyone who isn't explicitly committed to independent redistricting.
Independent redistricting is how you solve jerry mandering. If there
is any elected official or a candidate who says, well,
I don't know if I'm forward, maybe maybe not, uh uh,
we should just have a bright line. Jerry mandering is unethical.
There is never a defense for drawing districts to favor
one party or the other. Don't vote for anyone who
(26:05):
would ever engage in that behavior.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's how we solve it.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Now, well, you've been in Congress for about eleven months now,
and you're you're planning on getting jerry mandered out, and
you're running for attorney general.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Attorneys general, attorneys general.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's very awkward, don't know.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Could you do an.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Explainer on why it's attorneys general.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
And short TikTok length because it's easier to understand, and
also I think I would get bored.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
More for more than thirty seconds about it's a bad
decision that someone made a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh okay, well you're welcome.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
But even your new role that you're running for right now,
would you be able to address jerry mandering?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Look, the attorney general's job is standing up for people.
It's sort of the opposite of what you see a
lot of in Congress. It's not about the theatrics. It's
not about the left or the right. It's just about
doing what's right, standing up against political corruption, against business corruption,
especially when consumers are getting screwed, and organized crime. We
got a huge fentanyl problem in North Carolina. We got
it across the entire country. The Attorney General gets to
(27:07):
be directly involved in handling all of that. It's a
really wonderful job.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Well, thank you coming on with that.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You seem like the perfect guy for the job, that's
for sure. Give it up for Representative Jack.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
We'll be good. Bread Wolver right back then to you
(27:46):
next week with Michelle Wolf takes over the desk.

It's The Daily Show with your host Nnessee Lighting and
Jordany Clapper.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome to The Hailey Show.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm Jesse Lightning and I'm Jordan Clapper, world co hosting tonight. Yeah,
and of course it is the night before Thanksgiving, so
that could only mean one thing.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Neither of us wanted to see our family go.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We got a great show. So let's get into headlines.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Let's kick things.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Off with some news about cryptocurrent and see historically it's
the best investment if you're looking to have your money
stolen by a guy whose mattress is one hundred percent
for sure on the floor. But now there's one less
place for Americans to trade it.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
This morning, another major blow to the cryptocurrency industry as
the leader of the world's largest crypto exchange pleads guilty
to multiple US violations, including money laundering.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
The FEDS accused Binance and its CEO, Changpeng Joo, of
processing more than one hundred thousand transactions by child abusers,
cyber criminals, and even terrorists.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Joo has agreed to pay.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
More than four billion dollars in fines and step down
as CEO, and Binance will no longer do business within
the US.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
WHA, No, you're telling me that crypto guy was shady.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
The crypto guy was shady, so weird.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He was so nice when he sold me the weapons
on the black market.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, of shot, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
But you know, there is that one thing that you
always say, Oh, that's.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Right, the one thing.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
What is it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh, everyone in crypto is shady. Have you ever talked
to someone who's into crypto and thought to yourself, Wow,
what an upstanding human citizen. I definitely would prefer talking
to them rather than shooting myself in the face. But yes,
Binance is going to have to shut down in the US,
(02:27):
which could jeopardize any American who has money there. To
be fair, if you're a non criminal who's lost money
in this, that's on you, because at this point, investing
in crypto is like playing r Kelly at your wedding.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You should know.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's not a good choice.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I gotta say I saw this coming from a mile away.
I knew this company sounded fishy from the moment I
heard its name.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The name binance alone. It it sounds like a four
year old trying to say finance.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, it sounds like a woke economics course, Oberlin.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I haven't really picked a currency. I'm more financial.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Basically a guy with a fake mustache trying to get
away with something. Are you guys doing finance?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
No, we do binance with money?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah? No, thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm gonna leave my money in the real banks where
nothing bad ever happens. Moving on to President, Biden pulls
show that he's not doing well with young people, who
apparently find him suss mid and deficient in rids, all
words I a young person know quite well. But Biden
(03:38):
has a new policy to win them back.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Biden administration wants to eliminate so called cord cutting fees.
It would be done through a new proposed rule from
the FCC, which would require cable and satellite TV operators
to get rid of those early termination fees for subscribers.
The agency says those fees really limit a customer's ability
to choose the service they want.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, okay, so so Biden wants to make it easier
for people to cancel cable.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
This is a bad idea, and I am not just
saying that because we're on cable.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
You're saying it because cable is the lifeblood of the
American experience. Cable is about family, tradition.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The Bible, the Constitution.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Have a four to one ks for the on air hosts.
You know, we get that, right, Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We do nice.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
These fees are essential. I mean you can't just get
rid of no.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Maybe you know, maybe we even double them.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, or canceling cable should just be illegal. Maybe the
death penalty is that too much?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's not too much. Definitely not too much.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't even think we should be talking about this
right now.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't think we should talk about it today.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
That let's move on, Okay, let's move on to some
public safety news. Recent studies show that women are more
likely to be hurt in car crashes, and Jordan the
is obvious.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Women are bad drivers. What you said, it's what you said.
It's sexism.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Sexism, Yeah, sexism. And now the auto industry is finally
starting to do something about it.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
When it comes to designing crash test dummies, researchers say
it's time to get smarter.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
This is the average female.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Engineers in Sweden have developed a dummy based on a
woman's body.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
More narrower shoulder area and a wider hip area.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
It's also lighter and has a lower center of gravity,
all things experts say are important to consider when testing
collisions at high speeds.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Wow, what a surprise. The cars are designed to be
safe for crash test dummies, and the dummies are designed
to represent men's bodies. Although to be fair, it's not
just the dummies. The study also revealed that right before
a crash, men tends up, while women usually whisper. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry sorry. I will say I'm glad they're finally making
(06:09):
changes to the dummies. But if we were worried about accuracy,
let's go all the way with this. Why not fill
the car with half eaten takeout containers and a hockey
stick that was left in the back seat for the
last three months, no matter how many times you told
them to bring it in the fucking house. Let's see
what happens when that hits the wall at sixty miles
an hour. Sorry, Jordan, it's been a tough week.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, no worries. Thanks again for driving me to hockey practice.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah no product.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So thanks to the scientists and congrats on designing a
mannequin that men won't dream about having sex with.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right, right, right, totally, totally, totally definitely, so spot on
spot on, spot off spot.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Can we move on? Please?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
The Holidays are coming up and that means the start
of a decade old tradition.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's it. I went on location to watch it happen.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
America has had its share of intractable wars, but Fox
News has been tracking one forever war.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
In particular, it's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The War on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The War on Christmas to the War on.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Christmas, and there's no end each side.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
Now it feels like the War on Christmas is coming
earlier and earlier every year.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So we came to the Fox News All American Christmas
Tree Lighting Show to talk to people about how they're
surviving the War on Christmas.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
I don't feel like there's a war on Christmas, and
I think if there was a war on Christmas, Christmas
move one.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Are you familiar with the war on Christmas? I've heard
of it, but I don't really think it's actually a thing.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So are you serious? People can't say Merry Christmas anymore?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
If I say Merry Christmas and my neighbor ten times
in a row.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
It looks at me like I'm crazy. Do you think
that this tree.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Lighting ceremony is so much smaller this year because Fox
lost so much money in the dominion lawsuit?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
That's very possible, but I haven't really heard a lot
of fun into that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Are you at all worried?
Speaker 11 (07:58):
That's on me?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No tree lighting sae everybody next year when smart metic
comes in and takes the rest of the cat. Not really, no,
No the hell people even know it's Christmas. Outside of
those Christmas decorations and those Christmas.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And those.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There's a Sanna.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Finally, we spoke to some civilians who truly have experienced the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Noug of war. Fox has talked a lot about how there.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Is a war on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think there is.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
If I were to say happy Holidays, how would that
make you feel?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I might correct you.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Some people talk about saying happy Holidays. Pot is really
proud about saying Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
They say there's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
There is.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
There's a war on Christmas.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
I believe we look around you, look at all the businesses,
look at the corporations that have you know, not allowed
you to say that.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I think that people are scared to speak up about
their Christianity, about their faith.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sure, there is a war on Christmas, and the group
facing the most vitriol, for sure are Christians.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think Christians specifically, guess right now, right.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Now, but it is defending Christmas enough to put them
on saying as nice list? Or does Saint Nick reconsider
when Fox News hosts say things.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Like this, I want to say something about Arab Americans.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We've had it with them.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, so not your nice Someone at Box News said
we've had it with them, referencing Eric's in general, not
just nice. So Jessie Waters will be in a nice
nice category, maybe.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Because I'm a New Yorker and I'm pretty you know,
use this stuff, used.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
To stuff, and now I've been mom, keep your mind. Yeah,
and so that's like led to an.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Irrational hour that you already project down to an entire
group of people.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, we got the five right here. Judge, not your nice, nice,
nice good judge. He sees the world. Ye call it
that she sees that exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
That lady knows a way around exactly a bar a bar,
not your nice Fox News nice, nice, nice nice. Yes,
what about when they lied to the American people about
the election results? That's naughty.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's no, that is naughty.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We can acknowledge that's naughty.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What overall Fox News nice nice makes mistakes. We all
make mistakes.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Who hasn't threatened the entire nation's trust in democracy?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
We'll start one moment for ninety one.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
We finally arrived at the moment to declare mission accomplished.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All the War of Christmas three two one.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Until next year.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
When we come back, We're gonna report from John as
a double away.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We've opened up our guests here the shows. Who are
our guests? We've discovered that not all people are terrible,
So now we're inviting some of our new not terrible
friends back in a new segment we call in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Hey, what's help us up? Everybody?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
I'm John Leguizamo, and Yo, it's great to be back
at the Daily Show.
Speaker 11 (11:36):
For two reasons. One, you guys got the best snacks.
Speaker 12 (11:41):
Oh yeah, I mean I could buy my own snacks,
but they taste way better when they're free, except for
that dried seaweed that always tastes like a flounders butthole.
But more importantly, I came back because something is.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Pissing me off.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Univisa, you own face and growing backlash after giving Donald
Trump the royal treatment. Last week, the network hosted a
very friendly, our long exclusive interview with Trump that his
son in law, Jared Kushner, helped arrange.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
I'd mother meal.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
I don't know what's more shocking that Univision gave Trump
a softball interview or that Trump led a Latin guy
into his house. How did that happen? What do he
think he was there to mow the lawn? But yeah,
journalist Enrique A. Sevedo interviewed Donald Trump for Univision Now.
For decades, Univision has been the channel that Latinos have
(12:37):
trusted for news, whether it's news about the.
Speaker 11 (12:39):
World or news about a sexy lady minor will he
took off against the most powerful woman in town for
a more.
Speaker 12 (12:50):
And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Univision
interviewing Trump. In fact, I thought it would be dope
opportunity to confront him on his hardline anti Latino policy.
But instead of an interview worthy of Univision, we saw
this ca Camerda, The.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
New York Times Enapole came out this week. It has
you with forty two percent.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Of Latino voters support.
Speaker 9 (13:14):
That's unprecedented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What do you think the message voters are sending with
his numbers? It's a forty two percent, Like I was saying,
I unpresidented for our Republican candidate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
What do you think voters are responding to your message?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Do you think the voter is now more secure because.
Speaker 12 (13:28):
Of that relationship and the partnership you've been able to
build with Mexico.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
More and more Latinos are identifying themselves as conservatives.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Wait?
Speaker 12 (13:38):
Wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but those are your questions
to the guy who might be the next president, mister Trunk,
Why why are you so beloved by the Latino community?
I mean, I was expecting this guy's follow up question
to be is it true that to look upon your
penis it would be like, I don't know, gazing into
(14:02):
the very face of God.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, no charity, how big? Easy?
Speaker 11 (14:07):
Tell them, tell you to start, tell me to start
and yo.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
Just to be clear, we Latinos are not a monolith.
There are some of us that do support Trump and
my family. We refer to him as the crazy uncle
who doesn't get invited to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that's just my house.
Speaker 12 (14:25):
But as a news organization for the Latino community, Univision
has a responsibility to fully report what a second Trump
presidency could mean for them, and the truth.
Speaker 11 (14:36):
Is that that shit is mad scary.
Speaker 13 (14:39):
We have learned so much more about Trump's proposal for
a twenty twenty five agenda, particularly when it comes to immigration.
It's plan would essentially call for building detention camps for
migrants who are rounded up around the country to be
held at until they are deported. This is an extreme
escalator from what we saw in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Among his promises mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and denine
entry to legal immigrants based on their ideological beliefs.
Speaker 12 (15:09):
We will begin the largest domestic deportation operation.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
In American history.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
And nobody has any idea where these people are coming from.
And we know they come from prisons, We know they
come from mental.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Institutions, insane asylums.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
We know they are terrorists.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
It's poisoning the.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Blood of our country.
Speaker 12 (15:26):
Wait wait, wait, what Latino immigrants are poisoning the blood
of our country, mother, What are you talking about?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Your blood is ninety nine percent big Mac.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Also also, wait, did he really say immigrants are coming
from insane asylums? That's not what getting granted asylum means, moron.
And by the way, birthright citizenship is in the Constitution,
just so you know. And I know most Republicans stop
reading after the Second Amendment, but stick around because that
(16:01):
fourteenth m That shit gets good. So the question is
why would Univision avoid asking Trump about the radical twenty
twenty five agenda? And more disturbingly, why did the network
cancel ads from the Biden campaign that was set to.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
Run during the interview?
Speaker 12 (16:26):
Oh yeah, and why did it cancel a separate interview
it had planned with Biden's Hispanic media director. I mean,
canceling opposing views is bad enough, but canceling ad revenue
that's down.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's down right on American.
Speaker 12 (16:46):
And I don't know all the answers, but maybe it
has something to do with Univision's new co CEO, bernardog Mez,
being close friends with Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law
and the only man with the skin of a flower tortilla. Look,
I don't know I'm just asking the tough questions, unlike
(17:07):
Univision's interviewer. The point is, though Univision has got to
come back to its core values. I'm not saying that
they shouldn't have Trump on the air. I'm just saying,
if you do decide to sit down with a lying
insurrectionist who wants to bring back interment camps like it's
freaking nineteen forty two, you might want to point it
out in the interview, okay, because there needs.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
To be honest journalism and parody.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
The Latino community needs you to step up because the
stakes for us in twenty twenty four too damn high.
You need to expose the truth, and not just about Trump,
but also about how they are not those evil madre
It's sabotaging is forbidden. Love of Emilias, swallow a more.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I love you. I'm sure the whole time, John Reford,
you're the right At Recovers with Jeff Glasses, it will
go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Our guest Tonight is a former prosecutor and veterans serving
his first term in Congress. He represents North Carolina's fourteenth
Congressional district, and he's running for Attorney General in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Please welcome Democratic Representative Jeff Jackson. Come crowd, Congress and Jackson,
(19:08):
thank you for being here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Thank you so excited to have you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You are an incredibly successful politician, but most people know
you from your TikTok videos. You do these incredible explainers
that distill down pretty complex issues in a really clear,
digestible way. Is the intent to simplify these issues for
(19:34):
people and get that engagement? Are you really just posting
foot picks?
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Every consultant in DC told me to go the foot direction. Yes,
I said, that's not what I'm about.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, you're a hands guy.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
We know you are.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I love a good hand TikTok Oh, show me that
that Vogue era. Give me this, Lauren Bolbert.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I had a great hands video a few months ago. Great, great,
is that what you're talking about.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
I'm a kitchen table guy, right, I have a kitchen table.
I put a camera on the other side, I look
into it. I say, here's the most interesting thing that
happened to me in Congress this week? And then I
posted to a bunch of different social media platforms. I
have been really surprised by the level of interest in
this political environment where everyone is yelling at each other
all the time, to be able to speak in a
(20:29):
normal tone of voice and try to convey some of
the complexity and some of the nuance that there would
be broad interest for that, I think is really encouraging.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I think it's a good signing.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
I now I feel though the platforms that we have
our conversations on dictate the types of conversations we have,
and TikTok is a short attention span platform, Like, what
does it say about our democracy that this is where
the conversations are happening.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
I've been surprised. I wouldn't have expected that. So I
post to TikTok, but also Facebook, read at Twitter. The
place where most people view is TikTok. When I'm home
in my district, constituents come up and they say, hey,
I appreciate what you posted on TikTok. I would not
have predicted that. I will tell you I've got seven
hundred and sixty thousand some odd constituents my senses, about
(21:17):
three hundred thousand of them are on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
No.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I know TikTok's got all kinds of issues, but I
think that reaching my constituents where they are is also
something of real value. It should be normal and expected
that your elected officials try and use social media to
keep you posted about what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It should be part of our job.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
You think you think half of your constituents are on TikTok?
How many high schools do you have in your district?
Speaker 9 (21:47):
You know, I've got a lot of young people, But look,
there are people of all ages on all of these
social media platforms. And every once in a while you
meet a grandma who comes up and says, I really
love you on TikTok. Usually they mentioned Facebook, but sometimes TikTok.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
So you were talking about some of the issues with TikTok.
Nikki Haley has just openly spoken about banning TikTok and
the security concerns. Do you have those concerns?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, those concerns are all legit.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Look, I have a phone that has one app on it,
and that app is TikTok, and that's how I handle that.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And that's because you fear what could happen.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I mean, because the overall threat is that essentially the
Chinese government has access to your information and can influence
the discourse because of it.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Those are all absolutely credible concerns. As long as roughly
half of my constituents are there, I'm gonna try and
use it for good and keep them posted about what
I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I want to talk about some of the people you
work with. You you called out on your famous TikTok
videos that a lot of the people in Congress you sense,
are faking this outrage that what we're seeing at home
is essentially a bunch of people faking it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Who would you put on blasts? Who are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And does it rhyme with Schmrjorie Schmaaler Schmid.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
All I will say is this, It's not George Santos.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Never, He's not vacant.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's never a false word from that gentleman. I'll tell
you this.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
I've been in committees and I have watched when the
camera turns on, people's personalities change completely right before your eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
It's really jarring. It is literal theater.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
And you've got a handful of people there who are
in competition with each other every day to be the
most outrageous, which is why it feels like when you
look at Congress, they're on this escalator that's just increasingly.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Crazy and angry.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
It's because they're playing a very specific game to try
and get the attention of a very specific group of people,
and it's awful and exhausting. Most of people up there
aren't playing that game. The people we keep getting served up,
they're playing the Outrage Olympics every day. That's how they
treat their job in Congress as the day we tryouts
for the Outrage Olympics.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I find it interesting because you have found the success.
You don't seem like the outrage kind of God.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
You always seem like you're at like an even five.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's you got, Like you got like a nice dad, energy,
good dad.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Like I'm not going to drink with you, but I
will pick you up if you drink too much.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I will no questions, ask, give me a call, Right,
I'm that guy. Yeah, yeah, why do you think?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Let me say something else? I think right now, that's
the dad American needs.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I could also say, kind of a tipsy uncle who
can whip this country back into shape to it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
All, we're dangerously close.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, it's just like uncle is going to turn on us.
We better shape up.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What does boil your blood? Does anything get you going?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Outright?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Political corruption For example, my state, North Carolina a horrible
history with jerrymandering. Jerry Mandering is just letting politicians draw
their own districts, because when you do that, they're all
going to cheat my party. When my party had the
ability to draw the districts in North Carolina, they always cheated.
When I was in the state legislature, the first bill
(25:16):
I ever filed was to end jerry mandering, and they
sent it to a committee that hasn't met in twenty years.
We can't let politicians draw their own districts because they
screw the voters every single time. No more jerry mandering
across the entire country.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, a huge.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Issue, But how do we fix this cancer on political discourse?
How do you solve that?
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Don't vote for anyone who isn't explicitly committed to independent redistricting.
Independent redistricting is how you solve jerry mandering. If there
is any elected official or a candidate who says, well,
I don't know if I'm forward, maybe maybe not, uh uh,
we should just have a bright line. Jerry mandering is unethical.
There is never a defense for drawing districts to favor
one party or the other. Don't vote for anyone who
(26:05):
would ever engage in that behavior.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's how we solve it.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Now, well, you've been in Congress for about eleven months now,
and you're you're planning on getting jerry mandered out, and
you're running for attorney general.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Attorneys general, attorneys general.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's very awkward, don't know.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Could you do an.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Explainer on why it's attorneys general.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
And short TikTok length because it's easier to understand, and
also I think I would get bored.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
More for more than thirty seconds about it's a bad
decision that someone made a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh okay, well you're welcome.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
But even your new role that you're running for right now,
would you be able to address jerry mandering?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Look, the attorney general's job is standing up for people.
It's sort of the opposite of what you see a
lot of in Congress. It's not about the theatrics. It's
not about the left or the right. It's just about
doing what's right, standing up against political corruption, against business corruption,
especially when consumers are getting screwed, and organized crime. We
got a huge fentanyl problem in North Carolina. We got
it across the entire country. The Attorney General gets to
(27:07):
be directly involved in handling all of that. It's a
really wonderful job.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Well, thank you coming on with that.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You seem like the perfect guy for the job, that's
for sure. Give it up for Representative Jack.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
We'll be good. Bread Wolver right back then to you
